'Geographical information science' is not merely a technicalsubject but also poses theoretical questions on the nature ofgeographic representation and whether there exist limits on theability of GI systems to deal with certain objects and issues.This book presents the debate surrounding technical GISand theory of representation from an 'inside' GIS perspective.
* Chapters are authored by leading researchers from a range offields including geographers, planners, ecologists and computerscientists from Europe and North America.
